Happy Birthday to Spectragryph!

Today is
the 1st anniversary of Spectragryph !

Since the
first release of v1.0 on 2016/11/11, Spectragryph has seen
17 additional releases, up to the current version v1.2.6 .
Recognized file formats have mounted from about 40 to currently
60, and totally new functionality has been added, like spectral
library search, processing automation and spectrometer hardware
control.

During this
first year, the website has been visited about 95,000 times
with 1,350,000 hits and the software was downloaded 13,000
times by over 6,200 individual users from all over the world.

Almost 600
free non-commercial license were provided to private &
academic users and I was engaged in meaningful conversations
with hundreds of users.

The 17th
update to the initial Spectragryph version brings "scaled
subtraction", some more settings for OceanOptics modules
(like TEC cooling), a complete peak list for all spectra,
improved and more consistent handling for a number of functions
and quite some bugfixes. Additionally, the licensing mechansism
has been changed. See the list of all changes here.

bugfix update v1.2.1

12th update
to the initial Spectragryph version released today. Shortly
after the release of v1.2, it turned out there were two annoying
bugs newly introduced with v1.2 One is about ugly line shapes

Funding goal reached

The new
Spectroscopy
Ninja funding goal has been hit in time and even reached
123%! You might imagine how relieved I am now, to be able
to proceed with the Spectroscopy Ninja project. Also, I am

New funding goal!

Your
support is still needed to keep Spectroscopy Ninja going. Let's
raise the funding sum to EUR 12,000 until Dec. 15, or I have
to shut down everything.

Code signing certificate

The
install file is now dual signed with a SHA1/ SHA256 code signing
certificate. This allows me to appear as "verified publisher"
on installation, which increases user trust and simplifies installation.
Tested on WinXP, Win7 and Win10.

Spectragryph v1.0 offficially released!

Today,
I've finally launched the first version of the new Spectragryph
software, and made it available to everyone interested though
this website. Like it's forerunner software Spekwin32, Spectragryph
is free to use for all private, academic, non-commercial purposes.
This software is one of the most powerful, yet easy-to-use free
scientific softwares you can get your grip on. Have fun!

first Spectragryph
test version delivered to supporters

Today,
I've finally provided the first version. As announced during
the campaign, this went only to donating supporters (you can
still join
the fundraising). Everyone else has yet to wait.
It is not 100% finished, but nearly all functionality of Spekwin32
has been rebuilt and it's running quite robust. There are some
completely new functions (e.g. the "multi cursor")
and other functions were strongly improved (e.g. integration).
I tried to create a modern laid-back user interface, based much
on current Microsoft Office user interface paradigms. It is
also possible to change the look&feel fundamentally.

creation
of SpectraGryph part of the Spectroscopy Ninja website

Today,
I've created this new part of the website, in order to have
a dedicated place for my new optical spectroscopy software SpectraGryph.
There is also a dedicated new domain: http://www.spectragryph.com,
that forwards to here (http://www.effemm2.de/spectragryph).
The software is not yet available, but first screenshots can
be seen here.
